So, my 3 year old grafted "la nina" (P.R. variety of size XXL Mangos) has flowered profusely and I now have numerous BB size fruit on those panicles. As I've read its way too early to let any of the fruit stay, so I'm going to trim the panicles back.
Should I break off / cut off the extension of the panicle (the individual branch that held the flowers and now holds the bb's) where it hits the main branch, or should I just cut the entire length of the panicle off?
On a bright note, the weight of the flowers has taken the tree from a rather upright tree and spread the canopy out crazy wide. Its now about 7 feet wide where it had been about 2 feet wide before. I'm thinking of adding some weight to the branches to keep the canopy wide open like it is now for the future growth - any thoughts on that?
thanks
